They don't need to have the same name................. and your zip can have any format within. But do make sure you're putting them in the correct fields.

Koasati, maybe It was a server error, but it happened to me twice. Once with my wallpaper Hard_Drive. One file had the name with the underscore (_) and the other didnt, and it gave me a 'Invalid file format' the second time was with PointOfView, one file had no spaces the other had spaces and I got the same error. After I named them the same, it worked

Don't know why that happened to you A_67, but they definitely don't have to have the same name. A lot of people upload "nameofskin.zip" with "preview.jpg", and it works. Of course the next upload that person has, overwrites the first preview, and they have the same preview image for both uploads. 
I usually always name mine, nameofskin.zip, and nameofskin_ss.jpg.
